Available Actions: Files In Motion

Files In Motion actions let you control files being moved across a network, copied to a removable device or writable CD drive, or sent to a printer. These actions also control files entering or leaving the corporate network. In all cases, you can block the files, show a warning to the user, or simply capture the file attributes. For files being copied to removable devices or network locations, you can also encrypt unencrypted files. The available actions are:

Monitor

CA DataMinder captures the file and stores it on the CMS. No other action is taken.

Advise Encryption

CA DataMinder displays a warning dialog. The user copying the file can choose one of the following:

Encrypt

CA DataMinder prompts the user for a password, and uses this password to encrypt the file on the removable device.

Don't Encrypt

The file is copied onto the removable device unencrypted.

Cancel

The file is not copied.

Note: CA DataMinder cannot encrypt files being copied to network locations. Do not use Advise Encryption or Enforce Encryption control actions to prevent unencrypted files being copied to shared locations on your network.

Enforce Encryption

CA DataMinder displays a warning dialog, as above. But this time, the user can either encrypt their file or they can cancel the copy operation. They cannot copy an unencrypted file.

Warn

CA DataMinder displays the Warning dialog. You can specify customized warning messages for each policy. The warning dialog lets the user choose whether to continue or not.

Note: Warnings are not supported for files detected by CA DataMinder Network.

Block

CA DataMinder blocks the print job or copy operation and displays the Blocking dialog. Use the dialog notification message to explain to the user why this action was taken.

Note: The Blocking dialog is not shown for files detected by CA DataMinder Network. For these files; the user may simply see a timeout.
